Delaware Water Gap




After we left the New York City area, we moved on to Pennsylvania where we visited the Delaware Water Gap national Recreation Area.  

There are beautiful waterfalls on streams feeding the Delaware River.  We hiked a considerable distance but it was well worth the effort.  We were the only people there.  It was incredibly peaceful with gorgeous fall colors.  As you can see the waterfalls were spectacular!

The first photo is of Raymondskill Falls--which is really three waterfalls.  The second is Silver Thread waterfall.  Silver Thread Falls more than 300 feet.  The volume of water is really quite small but it creates a unique effect.

Tom also took the time to organize a stream improvement project as you can see.   (Just kidding!).
